There's less than a month left on the 2017 poker tournament calendar, although with the World Poker Tour Five Diamond Classic already underway and the soon-to-start PokerStars Championship Prague series among the month's highlights, there remain plenty of opportunities for things to change in the 2017 Global Poker Index Player of the Year race.
